■3rd Person POV■

Semi woke up at 4 in the morning. His head feels lighter. Just then, something caught his eyes.

Semi: Y/N...

Y/N is sleeping with her body on the floor and her upper body rests on his bed. Y/N fell asleep when she takes care of Semi last night.

Semi gets off of his bed and crouches down next to Y/N.

Semi: you should have just left me... this way, you're going to get sick instead silly...

Semi lifts Y/N's body and puts her on his bed, covering her body with his blanket. Semi stares at the woman's face and smiles.

Semi: thank you...

He walks out of his room and does a light stretch. His body is stiff from laying all day long yesterday.

It's 7 in the morning, Y/N woke up by the light slipping through the curtain. She looks around and realizes that she's not in her room.

She then remembers that she was taking care of Semi last night,  which means she's on Semi's bed. Y/N immediately gets up and walks out of Semi's room.

There Y/N sees Semi drinking a cup of coffee at the kitchen counter.

Semi: morning, want some of this?

Y/N could feel that her face grew warm. This is the 2nd time Semi carried her to the bed. The first time is when they work on their job together and she fell asleep in the living room.

Y/N: Semi I'm so sorry... y-you could just wake me up...

Semi: how could I? when you're probably tired after doing all of that for me... thank you Y/N....

Semi is smiling at her, making the woman's chest feels fuzzy.

Y/N: a-are you alright now?

Semi: yeah, I'm alright now...

Y/N sighs and smiles, now Semi is the one who got his heart warmed.

Y/N: thank goodness...

Just when Semi is about to walk to Y/N. The two hear a bell ring, but it's from Y/N's house.

Y/N: ah... someone is ringing my doorbell... um Semi please get some more rest... I... I'll take my leave then.

Semi; yes, sure... thanks a lot Y/N....

With that Semi walks Y/N to the door and opens it for her. He peeks to Y/N's side of the door and sees a man standing.

■Semi's POV■

A guy is standing in front of Y/N's house.

Who is that?

Y/N walks closer to the guy and calls out his name.

Y/N: Hayama?

The guy turns his head and I swear I saw that his face lit up the moment he saw Y/N's face.

Hayama: Y/N!

I could feel that my heart clenched at the sight of that guy pulling Y/N into his arms.

Who is he?

Hayama: it's been a while... how are you?

Y/N: I'm doing alright Hayama... what are you doing in Japan?

Hayama: ah, I have a business around here... I'm gonna be here for two weeks... I mis-

That Hayama guy stops talking the moment our eyes meet. Y/N looks up at him and then turns her gaze at me.

Y/N: oh right... Hayama, I want to introduce you to my neighbor and my old schoolmate, Semi Eita... Semi, this is Higuchi Hayama, my friend from (country) back in college, he's Japanese though...

She calls him by his given name...

I step out of my room and approach them and so does that Higuchi Hayama. We shake hands and introduce ourselves.

Semi: Semi Eita, nice to meet you Higuchi...

Hayama: Higuchi Hayama, the pleasure is all mine...

Are they really just friends?

I can't help but be antsy seeing how close this guy is to her. Just then I feel as Y/N walks closer to me so I look down at her.

Y/N: Semi... you should rest more okay?

Y/N looks at me worriedly

Semi: yes, okay... thanks about last night...

Y/N: don't mention it Semi... well I'll go back now okay.

Y/N gives me her sweet smile before turning around and go to her house with that Higuchi guy.

Seeing the two of them walking together, looking all close like that, makes my chest feels heavy.

I walk back into the house and try to forget what I've seen today. But I can't help but hear laughter from next door.

Semi: is he... someone special for you? You sound so happy... Y/N...

I lay on my stomach on the couch, bothered by the thought that Y/N is happily talking with another guy.

Shit... know your place Eita...

■Y/N's POV

I lead Hayama to my living and told him to sit on the couch. I head to the kitchen to get us something to drink.

Y/N: here you go Hayama... um could you wait a minute, I need to take a shower hehe...

Hayama: but you visited your neighbor...

Y/N: um well... I kinda sleep over... wait up okay...

I leave Hayama and take a shower. When I'm taking a shower, I can't help but remember where Semi told me to stay last night and the picture of us that hang on his wall.

Why would he keep that photo?

I shook my head internally, I need to stop thinking about Semi in that way.

Y/N: we... had it before... and... it's not working...

I wear comfortable sweatpants and sweatshirts, I tend to dress up this way on weekends. Hayama is drinking his tea while looking out the window when I walk into the living room.

He looks at me and smiles. We both sit on the sofa and talk.

Hayama: um, so... what are you doing in your neighbor's house early in the morning.

Y/N: ah, Semi... he was sick so I help him out a bit... I mean, he's sick because of me too...

Hayama: Y/N... are you close with Semi?

Dub Dub

Am I?

Y/N: I uh... Semi and I were studying in Shiratorizawa...

Hayama: so you were schoolmates?

I nod at him. It's not like I'm lying, we were schoolmates before anything else.

Y/N: um Hayama what business do you have here? How long Will you be staying in Japan?

Hayama: oh... about two weeks maybe more... I'm going to...

I need to get my head off Semi for a while. Or my feeling will end up growing for him.

It's 1 in the afternoon. Hayama asks me to eat out with him. I'm getting ready and then put on my shoes.

When Hayama and I walk out of my apartment. I see Semi walking down the hallway, heading to the elevator.

Where is he going? Is he healthy enough to move around?

Y/N: Semi!

I come after him and Semi turns around. He has his guitar with him.

Y/N: Y/N where are you going?

Semi: ah, I have a gig tonight...

The three of us walk into the elevator together.

Y/N: are you feeling alright already? Don't... you need more rest?

I'm so worried...

Semi smiles wryly at me.

Semi: you don't need to worry about me... just have fun with your friend... well I'm off, bye...

Y/N: Se...mi?

Why did he act differently? Hearing him tell me not to worry about him, makes my heart hurts.

Hayama: Y/N?

Y/N: uh... ah Hayama, I'm sorry... let's go...

I head in the opposite direction from where Semi heads to. I look back at him, seeing his back going further.

Why does it feel like he's going away?

Why does my mind keep on coming back at him...

Why... does my heart yearns for him again...
